StageFavouredWhy
Level 1AsheLevel 1 is yours because W and Frost Shot out-damage Senna's weak base stats.
Level 2AsheLevel 2 stays yours as more W punishes her thin defenses when she steps to CS.
Level 3AsheLevel 3 favours you since Q shreds the squishy soul-dependent Senna.
Levels 4-5Even / skillLevels 4-5 are even as her Q sustain and camouflage offset your trade power.
Level 6Even / skillLevel 6 is even as Dawning Shadow adds utility but she remains catchable by your R.
First itemAsheFirst item favours you because her stat line is still thin and you win the sustained trade.
Two+ itemsSennaTwo-plus items flips to Senna as stacked souls give her range and crit that out-range your kite.

How to beat Senna as Ashe: the early game

Levels 1-3 are yours: Senna has weak base stats and depends on collecting souls, so W (Volley) and Frost Shot out-trade her and Q punishes her low defenses. She fires her Q (Piercing Darkness) from long range but must step up for melee last-hits, so chunk her there and starve her stacks. Her souls come from minions she did not kill, so a shoved wave under your tower starves the stat line she is banking on. Piercing Darkness heals her through your poke, so trade in bursts that beat one heal rather than chipping her for a minute. Take the first back on the plate, not the kill.
